To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.
